One-pot synthesis of S-scheme MoS₂/g-C₃N₄ heterojunction as effective visible light photocatalyst.

ABSTRACT: Despite pioneering as the holy grail in photocatalysts, abundant reports have demonstrated that g-C₃N₄ performs poor photocatalytic activity due to its high recombination rate of photo-induced charge carriers. Many efforts have been conducted to overcome this limitation in which the semiconductor-semiconductor coupling strategies toward heterojunction formation were considered as the easiest but the most effective method. Herein, a one-pot solid-state reaction of thiourea and sodium molybdate as precursors at different temperatures under N₂ gas was applied for preparing composites of MoS₂/g-C₃N₄. The physicochemical characterization of the final products determines the variation in contents of components (MoS₂ and
